JOSE MOURINHO has revealed how a text message from Chelsea captain John Terry convinced him to sign a new five-year deal at Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho committed his long-term future to the club last week after taking the club to their first championship for 50 years.

The 42-year-old was being linked with a move to Real Madrid having proved to be one of the best coaches in the world.

But Mourinho admitted he could not walk out on his Chelsea players after Terry sent him a message on his mobile phone after the Blues had secured the title with a 2-0 win at Bolton.

Mourinho said: "I disappeared from the dressing-room and I went back to the hotel because I was wet with the champagne.

"I was incredibly happy and maybe I didn't show it in the right way, but at that time it was not a question of control but leaving the players to enjoy that moment.

"When I was in the hotel waiting for the team I got an sms from John Terry and this sms will stay with me for ever.

"It was not only his sms but a group sms from the team. I didn't send them an sms because they know what I have in my heart in relation to them and that is why I want to stay. I stay and I want to fight with them for more success. It would be very easy for me to win the Premiership and say goodbye and go to another club and bring a title and success to that club.

"But I don't want that and I am very happy with my decision to stay."

Chelsea end their amazing campaign at Newcastle today hoping to avenge their FA Cup defeat in February.

The Blues' dreams of winning the quad were ended through a Patrick Kluivert header in a game which saw Wayne Bridge break his leg, but Mourinho believes Newcastle did Chelsea a favour.

He said: "We lost the game but it was not fair. We conceded a goal in the beginning and Wayne Bridge had a big, big injury after I made all the changes at half-time.

"We had to play with 10 men, Damien Duff then got injured and we had to play with nine men, Carlo Cudicini got sent off and we had to play with eight men. It was a crazy game but we had no conditions to fight for the four trophies at the same time so, when we were out of the FA Cup, I was sad but inside of me I was thinking it was better."

And Mourinho laughed off talk that Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez outwitted him in the tactical battle during their Champions League semi-final.

He added: "I cannot say when a team defends so much that it is tactical."
